Weeden, who threw a horrible underhanded interception in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 31-17
loss to the Detroit Lions, will keep his job for at least one more week, coach Rob Chudzinski said
yesterday.

With the Browns down just seven points, Weeden, trying to avoid a sack, flipped the ball toward
fullback Chris Ogbonnaya near the sideline, but it was picked off by linebacker DeAndre Levy, all
but sealing Detroit’s win.

Chudzinski said he plans to start Weeden on Sunday at Green Bay.

“This was one game,” Chudzinski said. “I thought that Brandon played well in spurts, and at
times he obviously made critical mistakes. It’s just not one guy.”

Chudzinski said he never discussed the possibility of making a switch to backup Jason Campbell.
Chudzinski said there was plenty of blame to be shared in the loss. The Browns were outscored 24-0
in the second half.

Weeden started on Sunday after Brian Hoyer suffered a season-ending knee injury.

LAST NIGHT’S GAME

Chargers 19, Colts 9: Philip Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and
Nick Novak kicked four field goals for host San Diego (3-3) in a win over Indianapolis (4-2).
Rivers moved the Chargers on three scoring drives of at least 74 yards.

Rivers completed 22 of 33 passes for 237 yards and no interceptions. The Colts’ Andrew Luck was
18 of 30 for 202 yards.

Allen got behind safety Delano Howell and cornerback Vontae Davis on a post route for the TD,
completing a 12-play, 74-yard march that took 6:14 and gave San Diego a 7-3 lead.

Worker killed at 49ers stadium work site

A worker at the construction site of the new San Francisco 49ers stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.,
died when a bundle of rebar he was unloading fell on him. It is the second workplace fatality at
the stadium in recent months, according to state officials investigating the accident.

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health did not immediately identify the
worker.

An elevator mechanic, 63-year-old Donald White, was killed at the construction site in June when
he was struck by a counterweight while working in a shaft.

Injury report

• Green Bay Packers receiver Randall Cobb will miss “multiple weeks” because of a knee injury,
coach Mike McCarthy said. McCarthy did not give details about Cobb’s injury or a foot injury that
will keep linebacker Nick Perry out this week against the Browns.

• Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware has a strained right quadriceps and might miss a
game on Sunday at Philadelphia.

• New York Jets running back Mike Goodson will miss the rest of the season because of two torn
ligaments in his left knee.

• Minnesota Vikings linebacker Desmond Bishop will miss the rest of the season because of a torn
knee ligament.

Hurting Bills sign quarterback Flynn

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent quarterback Matt Flynn in their latest bid to shore up an
injury-depleted position.

The Bills might need another starter after Thad Lewis suffered a sprained right ankle on Sunday
in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Lewis was off the practice squad last week to fill in for EJ Manuel, who has a sprained right
knee.
